my new sr

[rchboy]

hey guys whats up, just bought an sr today. compression test was 155 to 160 for all cylinders. thought id throw up some pics. my 240 has a ca in it but im not having much luck with it so im going the sr route. I just have to do some of the normal maintenace for a motor thats been sitting and shes going in if you guys see anything odd with the motor let me know. im not keepong the air conditioning stuff so if anyone in interested let me know.

Nice, haven't seen a valve cover that clean for a long time. Good lock with the sr.

[Spec-X]

personally, SR20DET are my favourite...

all the best with it, it'll make your ride &

What's up with your CA?

[spider_slayer]

could probally use some new belts....

but other then that it looks clean.

[Vr6WantSr20det]

that looks pretty damn clean. I would just say do the normal maintenance stuff like replace the oil filter now while its really easy to reach and make sure to hand tighten it so u're able to remove it next time without too much trouble and stabbing a screw driver through it. Also just check for shaft play and change the turbo gaskets as well while the motor is out and easy to reach. Good luck with her.

Dude, ever hear of a filter wrench?

[Neil]

yea changing the filter out of the stock location without the right tool for the job is traumatic.

[rchboy]

yup the normal maintenace is the next thing i do. im gonna replace the water pump too before i put the engine in the car. i have some goodies that i can swap over from my ca to this motor, so its not a total loss. Ive got a disco tater for it, a blitz active clutch, and a front mount thats in already but i need to find a new coldpipe since i cut the orignal one up. im gonna put the motor in stock though first and make sure that everything is ok. as for the ca im gonna sell it. i just couldnt get the motor to run once it warmed up. it had been about a year and a half since i started that swap and it just wasnt working out so i got the sr. o and thanks for all the positive feedback.

Yep heres the right tool.

Plus that oil filter is a bigger pain in the *** then any other filter I've seen (unless you get the wrench)

[Neil]

Yep heres the right tool.

you obviously don't own an sr20det.

[Rosco]

Bah!!!!! You bunch of wussiess!!!! I have always used my hand to remove my oil filter, it ain't the easiest thing in the world but you get used to it.

[otterman]

I can barely reach the damn thing. And it's in such an akward position theres no way I could get a good grip on it....

[Morph]

Actually i have had 1 for the past 2 years and never needed to use a filter wrench to get it off just a t shirt some times.

Honda crx is a ***** not a sr20. Hell you can take it off from the side of the engine bay. Alot of other cars have it behind the exhaust manifold and on the back of the engine. Im sorry its right under the intake manifold sticking out easy as pie. Btw im not small 6 4

[sr20detmaybe]

oil filter change in sr? PFFF easy, ~15 mins and oil change is finished.

[Kenrik]

it's no harder then on a dual cam KA... then again I have a engine bay so clean you could eat off it.

got a link to your pics? i know you posted them. i gotta see to believe

[Gramentz]

ooooo......haven't tried the t-shirt technique yet...I have a spare silicone connector that I throw over the oil filter which grips it really well.

Nice compression numbers on the motor, a lot better than mine came with. When I bought mine, they told me the numbers were 90 across all four. . My rebuild followed.

[karmakaze]

i have never had an issue with getting my oil filter off. i usually use a shirt though just because of the heat.

in the time that it would take me to change the oil in my gf 2002 civic i could change the oil in my sr 2 or 3 times.

you guys are crazy. it takes seriously 3 seconds to unscrew my filter, without a filter wrench. how hard do you screw on your oil filters?

[rchboy]

theese guys just forget to eat their spinach like popeye before they go after the filter and they wont have a problem.

Recommended hand tight, then 3/4 of a turn more...

[Neil]

i know how tight the filter has to be, its just in such an awkward location for me. I guess i just cant bend like that or something. I do like my relocator, though.

[Shift_Alabama]

Nice SR. Hoping to swap one into mine soon...

[rchboy]

im putting it in my car tonight so ill try to take some good pics.
